FAQs

How do I apply to do A Levels at Craven College?

Use our online application service. Once we have received your application, you will be invited to an interview to discuss your course choices, develop a provisional timetable and answer any questions.

The course I wanted to do isn’t listed, what can I do?

The range of subjects we offer is regularly updated. Please check with Central Admissions or the A Level Coordinator if a subject is not listed.

How many A Levels do people study?

You will take four subjects at AS level and then specialise in three subjects at A2.

Who are A Levels for?

Our A Levels are aimed at anyone who wants to go on to higher education, needs Level 3 qualifications for employment, or wants to study a subject in depth.

Is the fourth AS Level worth anything, if you don’t complete the full A Level?

Yes. The AS is a distinct qualification, worth half an A Level and UCAS points.

What are UCAS points?

Universities and higher education institutions make offers based on UCAS points. An A at A Level is worth 120 points, at AS it is worth 60 points.

What extra things will I do alongside my A Levels?

At the Centre for A Levels we try to develop all our full–time students into expert learners. This will vastly improve your applications for university or a career and fully equip you both for your A Level study and for what comes afterwards.

What will I have to do to become an expert learner?

You will research and write a project on a chosen subject, greatly enhancing research skills for your A Levels and future study. You also have the opportunity to develop English and Maths skills as they directly relate to your studies.
